Chiral phosphorus compounds, despite many years of research, still enjoy unflagging interest of many
sulfuric acid under biphasic conditions. (−)-Isopinocamphone (8) was purified by fractional distillation and isolated in 78% yield. Then, 8 was subjected to an analogous reaction sequence that was used for (+)-verbanone (3), i.e., the synthesis of the enone in the first step followed by its 1,2-reduction
